We fit in a lot this time of year. Our days are frantically filled as we wrap up tasks and to-do lists, and our evenings are spent socialising leaving little time to plan or pack appropriately for our impending getaway. As we dust off the weekenders and summon our swimwear from the depths of our drawers, the contents of our suitcases tend to fall somewhere between forgetting the essentials and overpacking to excess.
To strike a balance and make certain you can head away with a concise closet of considered pieces, we’ve formulated four outfits that should have you covered whichever turn your holiday takes.
The day trip
If you find yourself venturing to the vineyard down the road or frequenting the local festival for the afternoon, an outfit designed for optimal comfort and movement destined for an idyllic summer setting will never go amiss. Don’t forget to capture your memories from day to night with the OPPO Find X5 Pro with 4K Ultra Night Video and Hasselblad Camera for mobile.

On the move
Chase flights and pavements in easy breezy style. You might surprise yourself just how often you reach for these supremely stylish and oh-so comfortable essentials.

Lazy day lounging
Some say it’s not a holiday unless you spend at least one day of your sojourn sleeping in and prioritising rest above all else. You’ll find us tucked up reading an ebook or scrolling the news with a coffee in hand on the OPPO Pad Air.
